Am I crazy?

I opened a thread the other day on someone's wife wanting to by a car and how to deal with that. It was titled help- something about wife. I never got to read it and now I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know anything about that?

The last I was reading it was at ten or eleven pages... It was getting really ugly. Something about various body parts… people needing to be hit by trucks… and so many insults it was hard to know who was insulting who for a while there. Man that was a fun post to read… I miss it. Not really...

It was the usual point & counterpoint about the cost of car ownership, tradeoffs between spending & saving, and the question of car free living as a family. No new deep insights about any of those things, though. Plenty of hot rhetoric & uncompromising position taking.

I'm sure the first page or two were useful. But then after 2 pages just like every other thread on bike forums it probably became an argument.
